Defenseman Matt Dumba logged a goal and an assist in the Penguins’ 5-3 win at Buffalo on Wednesday night. Pittsburgh never trailed, getting goals from Tristan Broz, Avery Hayes, Ville Koivunen and an empty-netter from Filip Hallander. Spare defenseman Jack St. Ivany, competing for a spot on the blueline’s top six, sustained a lower-body injury while blocking a shot during the win.

Josh Norris scored the first two goals for the Sabres and captain Rasmus Dahlin also lit the lamp. Goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who saw his first preseason action in the loss, aggravated his lower-body injury and his availability for opening night is now in question. Buffalo is looking to end its NHL-record 14-year playoff drought this season.

The Penguins have missed the playoffs each of the last three seasons and haven’t won a postseason series since 2018 as they attempt to rebuild while retaining their trio of aging stars in captain Sidney Crosby, defenseman Kris Letang and forward Evgeni Malkin.
